The Women's Earth and Climate Caucus (WECC) is working as a collaborative organization to create an international campaign to reduce carbon emissions and to foster a post-carbon economy and energy future, while also addressing societal change. The Women’s Caucus honors diversity, and addresses both the immediate actions required to stop global warming as well as the long-term societal and personal transformation needed for systemic, creative, and enduring change. We are a solution-based alliance that works with women leaders from grassroots organizations, policy making agencies, business, and science.
